I’d much rather deal with them than the snakes though. I don’t know what the f*ck is going on where I live, but we’ve shot five snakes, seen another four (including baby snakes – ugh) and ran over three on our way into town in the last two months.

I’ve lived in Australia (South West Queensland) for over 2.5 years and before September I’d only seen/shot eight snakes.

I’m lucky, I don’t live in a part of Australia where there are any of these issues. I don’t live in an urban area or anything, just an outer suburb, but we don’t really have much nature and there’s very little rainfall, so daddy-long-legs spiders are the worst that we endure!
